Fabulous colours.

Looking at your pics. I have noticed lengths of cable on a wall and on the ground which I assume are power or irrigation hoses. That should tell you your garden needs a lot of regular watering to keep the plants alive. Your handy man will have a job to keep everything watered enough to keep them...

1st of August so a new set of images.

That looks a lovely walk I always wonder what the people were like when I see benches named after them. They must have been loved.

Stunning That's a lot of work you've put in - and it shows.

My first ones are just starting to open [Dr. R. Uvedale and some Beaujolais] so hopefully I'll have some colour soon. The others are much further behind, as I was later getting them growing on and planted out, but they'll catch up over this month. I always look forward to the first sw. peas...

Lovely, I've only just found this. This forum is divided into so many sections it's rather confusing.

Mission accomplished, it took longer than I expected as I had to dismantle part of the wall to get at the roots of the lilac. I had to make a great effort to ensure that the wall looked as rough as it did before to blend in with the rest of it.

I'm hoping it will. It can stay as long as it likes. Short lived perennial treated as a biennial, apparently.

This is one half of my back border, such a difference from last year, April/ May 2023 It was a brand new Border apart from a Laurel bush I left in and trimmed to a round shape. I’m still learning, moving plants to where they should be and in September I planted a selection of bulbs, Alliums,...

It's been quite rainy here for about a month, which seriously prevents me from treating the roses against aphids and planting out my annual seedlings. Nasturtiums are already flowering in the trays and obviously suffering for space. Moreover, I had my birthday earlier this month and my husband...

Yes. They just popped in from next door.

Took thee this morning. One or three Auriculas in there.

Late April and a lot of growth, love this time of year

I haven't put anything on here for a long time because I haven't been anywhere of note. Yesterday however I decided to go for a little drive up the road to see what wild flowers I could find. (they're on the wildflower thread)And about 5 miles from my village is Carreg Cenen Castle, which I...

Lovely to have those so early in the year. They don't start appearing until late April/early May here, and are still in flower in early June in many areas. I've seen some Spanish ones starting to appear though, but just foliage.

But how do we know what each other is seeing... It is (like nature) art to me and very interesting. I did a web search for the place to have a look at images of it for "real" and to me both are superb.

5 years and a couple of weeks! And a lot of money!

Thanks @Busy-Lizzie - I'll take another photo in a month. It should be in full flower but alas no more freesias.
